Treat yourself to the fabulous things in life such as: shoes, accessories, fashion and makeup! Read our Fashionistas Only! by Whitney Ullman where emerging trends and the hottest tips are covered by our experts.”Ok so I’m sure we are all wondering the same thing. “What is up with this weather?” I mean seriously, I know that every year the seasons are the same and the weather is to be expected, but lately it’s been that weird transition where one day it’s warm and the next it’s freezing, so for all of my Fashionistas you can relate to this problem because it’s a complete fashion dilemma. What do we do with our clothes during this transition? Is it too early for shorts and tanks or do we slowly bring them out and start folding in the sweaters? Do we wear sleeveless dresses but with a coat?I know, A lot of questions, but to give you some perspective on this struggle, last weekend hubby and I went to Philadelphia to visit friends and stayed right in the heart of Center City. The sun was blaring and the weather seemed warm, but common sense told us to bring a coat just in case. I really should’ve broken out the full winter gear including thick socks and gloves! Freezing that night and wearing a hat, scarf, double layers and my winter coat, I saw women walking down the street in tank tops, mini dresses, and other revealing clothing shivering and hugging themselves just to get to the bar and nightclub. The point is that fashion during this time of year is so hard to decipher. When I asked for some of your thoughts there were some great responses.Samantha Schiumo believes you shouldn’t bring out the summer clothes until the first day you wear a bathing suit, but just to be safe she advises to keep all of your winter clothes cluttered in your dresser in case Mother Nature decides to be a tease. Which we all know is the truth, especially lately.Go through all your winter clothes before putting them away, said Dawn Dougherty. Anything you don’t wear, donate it so you’ll have more space and even better, an excuse to go shopping! I personally love that advice for sure. Jill Hallowell-Foley suggests you buy those shrinkable storage bags to store the winter clothes.Jennifer Marcello said there are ways to make summer clothes work in winter such as: short cardigans over sleeveless tops/dresses and tights or leggings under dresses. Or the Capri pants with boots for the cooler days and then sandals with the Capri’s on the warmer days. Great advice, Jen!Most transitions from season to season are easy to adapt to, but when it comes to winter heading into spring, the weather is so iffy that there is no right solution. What we know for sure is that dressing appropriately for whatever Mother Nature throws our way is always best. And no matter what, fashion should be fun and unique so wear what makes you happy but be comfortable wearing it!
